>Spaceplanes Are Here: Fastest Aircraft Ever to 20km
>Dawn Aerospace is building the world's most advanced rocket-powered spaceplane – and it's already breaking records. CEO Stefan Powell joins Core Memory to reveal how their Aurora aircraft has become the fastest vehicle ever to reach 20km altitude from a runway, beating stripped-down F-15s while flying like a normal plane from regular airports.
>Powell explains Dawn's revolutionary approach: combining rocket performance with aircraft operations to create truly reusable space access. From their New Zealand headquarters, they're manufacturing satellite thrusters while developing spaceplanes that can reach the edge of space, conduct microgravity experiments, and return for another flight the same day.
>The company just signed a groundbreaking deal with Oklahoma to deliver 100 flights of their space vehicle – transforming states into spacefaring entities under their own control.
>This isn't just about cool aviation stunts. Dawn Aerospace is pioneering a new business model that could advance everything from semiconductor manufacturing to defense testing. Powell walks us through their nitrous oxide propulsion system, the regulatory breakthroughs they've achieved in New Zealand, and why the recent Trump executive orders on supersonic flight could accelerate their U.S. expansion. Plus: why New Zealand has become the world's unofficial aerospace testing ground.
